Continuing to play two different sides in each half, Blues manager Billy Heath was satisfied with the overall performance which saw the Unibond Premier Division side share the spoils with York.

Ryan Morton quickly made his presence felt, carving out an opening on the left and crossing for Lee Morris to test James Lester with a glancing header in the second minute.

A 25 yard drive from Ross Greenwood shaved the bar before the Minstermen took the lead in the 20th minute, some slick passing leading to Onome Sodje getting the ball on the edge of the penalty area and he shrugged of a tackle before beating Jon Hood with a low drive.

Former Frickley player, Martyn Woolford, who captained City in the first half, went close with a first time shot in the 24th minute, but Frickley gave as good as they got, Morris having a shot blocked on the line after 40 minutes and Carl Wood going close with a 25 yard drive.

It took little time for the replacement Blues to get into their stride, Craig Laight having a header well saved in the 51st minute, while at the other end, Alex Rhodes put an angled shot off target before Carl; Wood saved Frickley from falling further in arrears in the 63rd minute, heading a curling cross from Rhodes off the line.

Craig Laight headed in an equaliser for the home side in the 66th minute and they threatened to take control, Danny Davidson beating three men in a dazzling run four minutes later before being robbed just inside the penalty area.

Davidson went close with a header in the 70th minute, while York almost snatched success in the last minute, Sodje getting clear by snatching at his shot and it sliced wide of the net.
